Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies votes-base.org as an active crypto-draining phishing domain currently under investigation for impersonating legitimate voting portals. The domain is classified under the threat type 'generic_phishing' and remains accessible as of today. votes-base.org was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com on May 11, 2026. The domain resolves to IP address 104.21.35.14 and is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 vendors, indicating it has not yet been widely flagged despite its suspicious activity. The domain's recent creation date and low detection count suggest it may be newly operational or employing evasion tactics to avoid immediate detection. As of the latest assessment, votes-base.org remains active with no confirmed blocklist entries or trust score reductions. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain, including clicking any embedded links or entering credentials. Organizations should consider adding votes-base.org to network blocklists and monitoring for associated IP addresses (104.21.35.14) to prevent potential credential theft or crypto-draining attacks. Immediate reporting to domain registrars or cybersecurity platforms is recommended to expedite mitigation efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: feea2d6d50cad4abc6774d19e8d81bbb47700e499e5e32b5c846fbba1eae2841 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/votes-base.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=votes-base.org Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
